Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

7228.30.20.00Same rate: 17.5%

If other alloy steel, not high-speed

Bars of tool steel or other specialized alloys not meeting high-speed criteria go to 7228.30 subheadings.

7228.70.30Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If angles, shapes, or sections of high-speed steel

High-speed steel in angle/shape form classifies separately from bars/rods in 7228.70.

7304.39.00.40Higher: 35% vs 17.5%

If processed into hollow drill rods

Hollow drill bars/rods of alloy steel shift to heading 7304 when fully formed as tubes/pipes.
